Miss Frances E. Willard, president
OF the National Women's Christian
Temperance Union, writes: "Jack the
Fisherman" seems to me the strong
est temperance story of our time. Into
it are woven with mastery skill the
elements of the modern temperance
reform, namely true Christianity, the
need for righteous laws, the necessity
of woman's cooperation, and, as Il
background, We have the awful curse
and warning OF transmitted evil under
the law OF heredity. 1 shall urge all
our local Womens Christian Temper
ance Unions to read and circulate this
telling story. so strongly told"

SEATING ACCOMMODATION.
At the sixth -street City Park
The Concert.

The open air concert at Sixth street
Park was we'll attended yesterday
afternoon, and proved very pleas
ant affair. 1t is a great pity that
there is lack of seating accommoda-
tion, as number of those who at
tend these recitals are invalids, and
unable to bear the strain of standing
or walking throughout the afternoon.
AT present there are only half dozen
benches in the park, which are filed
by early visitors, and as the police
have orders to prevent any one from
even sitting on the edge Of the lawn,
a great deal OF discomfort is fostered.
The City Council should either order
more benches to be placed in position,
or else make some arrangement which
will rob the entertainments of such an
irksome feature.

DALLAS, Tex, Jan. l0.-John c. Ben
nett, claiming q res idence at Fort Worth,
was to-day lodged in Dallas jail to await
the action of the federal grand jury,
which convened to-day, on q charge of
passing counterfeit 81 silver pieces. The
federal authorities state that considera-
bic of the spurious is in circulation at
Dallas, Fort Worth and other places, and
Bennett is suspected OF connection with
an extensive gang of "koniackers."
p. F. Terrell CT Duncan, fourteen miles
southwest OF Dallas, came to the city 10
day and reported his cattle dying from
blackleg. Local cattlemen ere not in
clined to believe the disease is blackleg,
but DR.. Falstetter has been sent out by
the Texas Farm and Ranch to investigate
the matter. His return and report to-
morrow is awaited with much interest.
Late last night detail from Capt. Nc
Murray's state rangers brought TO Dsllas
Nick Mann, the slayer of Six Killer,
the chief of the Indian police, or, as it is
better known, the Indian light
horse. Mann recently shot Six
killer to death at Mu>kogee, Cherokee
nation, because of an old grudge brought
about through SiXkiller's official duties
toward criminals in the Indian Territory.
The prisoner was to-day taken to Mus
kOgee by deputy United States marshal.
He will undoubtedly face federal justice
at the Fort Smith district court, or be
shot TO death, if convicted,
according to Cherokee nation criminal
laws. Mann, who is mixture of white
man, Cherokee and negro, was captured
at Vernon, about 100 miles northwest of
Fort Worth, near Red River, Saturday
last. He is of powerful build and OF vi
cious vissge. He was, from 1881 TO 1888,
employed al Dallas as bauler and roust
about at the Cockrel. Touring mills, and
was regarded as q peacesble man. Asso-
citation with toughs Of the Territory for
the past four years has thrown him under
the shadow of the g4llows.
Maggie Binkhart, employed in the

BulldoZing Tactics

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Jan. l0.-The
hsllways and corridors of the capitol
were thronged by immense crowds of
people this morning anxious to witness
the possible developments in the political
struggle then in progress. All interest

were dersely packed, while prominent
politicians, were present an located IN
available positions for giving advice aud
assistance to their friends on the floor.
Directly after the prayer the Goor-keeper
stepped 10 the front to the speakers chair
and announced the presence of the senate.
The senate, consisting of nineteen Re-
publican members of that body, Mr.. heiii-
son, Democrat, arose and call
ed d" MI. Speaker" but he
IVES not recognized. The Republic
can senators entered and took seats TO
the right of the speaker, Mr.. Kellison
meanwhile vainly Calming the speakers
attention. Speaker SaYre Immediately
announced that the business of the con-
ventiOn was to canvass the vote for lieu
tenant governor, and Kellison again sought
hearing, but was promptly told he was
out of order. Other Demo
cratic members also cliimed
the speakers attention, but 81
were refused recognition. The reading
of the returns consumed half an hour,
and at its close, while the clerk was
making his computations, Mr.. Jewett,
Democrat, addressed the speaker, but
was told that nothing would be in order
until the canvass was completed. The
result of the vote was announced as fol-
lows: Robertson, 2S2 ,9l6; Nelson, $685.
500; RObertson's majority, 1923. Upon
this Mr.. Robertson was then sworn
in by Judge Walker of the
supreme court. Said Speaker Sayre:

ant-govenor of the state of Indiana, and
he will now address you. Mr.. Robertson
instantly advanced to the front OF T. e
speakers desk, and taking the gavel,
raped for order. Gordon, Democrat,
waived his hand and called: "Mr.
Speaker" but no attention was given
him. Jewett was treated in similar
manner, but both managed to exciaiun,
"Mr. Speaker, we do not recognize the
legality of this joint convention" point

LON BILL is SETTLED.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. l0.-Jay Gould
arrived in this city to-day and from here

tour of inspection. In an interview Mr..
Gould said he was not actively engaged
in Wabash affairs, but was Interested in
having the new and separate lines work
harmoniously and in the ultimate
reorganization of the system. He also
said neither the Missouri Pacific
or the Texas and Pacific would make any
extensions until the fate of the interstate
commerce bill should be decided. He
considered that if the bill passed 1t would
greatly injure the general interests of the
West as well as the railroad business. He
was not prepared to go into details OF
the subject, but would venture the asse1-
ton that should the bill pass it would
take but very few years to convince the
public it was an unwise measure.

WHY THE MEN DID NOT GET WORK-THE
COAL FIELDS ON THE GULF, COLORADO
AND SANTA FE.
Special to the Gazette.
GAINESVILLE, TEX, Jan. 10.-With
reference TO the dispatch sent to-day's
GAZETTE about a number of men being
sent here from Dsllas to work on the eX-
tension of the Gainesville, Henrietta and
Western railway, and their being refused
employment, a Missouri Pacific official
makes the following statement: "Tne
chief engineer OF the Missouri Pacific, it
is true, gave these men pass to Gaines
vile TO work for Burkett & Murphy, and,
as this favor had not been previously
granted to any other man, instead of an
injury these men had been benefited,
since all other men had had to pay their
fare and take their chance of getting
work on their arrival here. These men
wanted work. The chief engineer of the
Missouri Pacific, knowing that they would
all get work here in 8 few days, told them
they could come up, but that the con-
tractors might not be ready for q day or so,
and such has proven to be the case. More
than all this, they are strong, able men.
They are not old women and children,
and it goes without saying, if in this part
Of Texas, to-day, men of this character
are without money and can not keep
soul and body together for couple Of
days while waiting for q JOB, it is solely
and purely their own tnriftlessness that
is the cause. Burkett & Murphy did fur
nIsh quarters for the whole of them, and
put thirty-two of them to work the MOI n
ing after their arrival, and this could
have been found out without much in
quiry." Be this as it may, the men
thought they had been unjustly treated
and sought an official to make complaint.
S me of them at least, who didn't get
work, thought they would be given en-
ployment On their arrival and came IN
prepared to wait for job.
There are parties in this city who claim
to be IN the possession of important
news relative to the discovery of coal in
the Indian Territory, and accessible to
the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad.
1t is said that the discovery was made
about twenty-five miles north of here,
and the mines are located, and of the
same vein as that st or near McAllister,
Indian Territory. 1t seems that certain
legislation is necessary before the mines
can be developed, and as little informa-
ton as possible is made public, but it is
learned that coal has been found in
unlimited quantity, and company has
been organized 10 operate the mines.

Indian territory. The bill has twice
passed the house with great unanimity
and will probably pass the senate during

strong disposition TO locate court
with federal jurisdiction in the Indian
Territory which shall have juris-
dictlon over all cases arising
within that territory and reservations
attached to it. Should these bills be-
